Starting point is 00:00:00 No Jumper. Coolest podcast on the world. And I got one of the hottest young white boys in the game right now, Aidan Ross in the building. How are you feeling, man? Chillin, bro. This is crazy. This is crazy. It's crazy. I'm excited to hear that because a lot of times, you know, I look at, like, the, you know, there's always just somebody popping off exploding on TikTok or Twitch or whatever.
Starting point is 00:00:18 And then it's like, sometimes I'm like, fuck. Like, my shit blew up in, like, 2016. I wonder if, like, the new generation is even, like, tapped in to what we're doing all the time, you know? Yeah, no. This shit is just crazy for me, though. especially because it's like, bro, like, I'm telling you, like, I've been fucking with this guy for like three, four years, bro. Like, all your interview is the one where, like, someone pulled out a gun on you or whatever that one time.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Fucking ex-ski, like, when they were first starting. Like, that shit's crazy just to be here, too. Like, it's just, wow, bro. That's it because, you know, you're somebody right now where, like, it feels like everybody just needs the explainer on where the fuck you came from. Like, everybody is trying to piece it together. I was watching YouTube videos of people trying to be like, well, it kind of came up because of this and it was kind of this or whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:03 The Condama team were just here. They were like, oh, yeah, that's the guy who does the sus shit. Yeah. I'm like, yes, you're right. Yeah. Well, I mean, here's how it really all started. I mean, I started playing, you know, NBA 2K. You're where that is, right?
Starting point is 00:01:14 You know, about a year ago, whatever. And I just streamed it. I had an average that many viewers, a few hundred viewers to a thousand viewers. And you were on nothing social-wise at this point. Did you know anybody famous or popping or doing anything? So that's the point where I had become friends. with Bronny James. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:01:31 LeBron's son or whatever. Right. So great guy. Like I said, that's like my brother. Like, he actually, like, he's a reason why I feel like I haven't developed like kind of like a crazy ego because he's like the most humble, famous person I've ever met my life. Really?
Starting point is 00:01:43 He's just so intact. Like, he's so grounded. Like, he's literally like a normal kid, literally. That's interesting. I wonder. I feel like his dad is sort of like that too. Like he's just like a very humble giant. Just wonder if that infected him, you know?
Starting point is 00:01:56 For sure. Like, I feel like he was just parented like very well. just a very respectful. Like, he's just like honestly like one of the, like I said, the most humble, famous people like I've ever met my life. So he's crazy. So yeah. So how did you meet him? So he actually, we met through like we were playing this like, like I said, he played 2K. This is right when COVID hit. So obviously, you know, he had time, like a bunch of people had time to start playing video games a lot because they're at home, you know, you know how it was the start of COVID. So he was home playing video games. We like kind of like we're in this like little community
Starting point is 00:02:27 Klan thing and we just like branched out from that little Klan and then we just kind of started playing together a lot. So I would have my streams and but it really didn't affect my viewership until we played this crazy wager versus the like one of the biggest creators in the 2K community. His name is Ticino and it was crazy. It was like all over Sports Center. I got LeBron to talk to me on the mic. Bronte got LeBron to talk to me on the mic. That shit, sports center, bleachers, all that How much money do you put up? Or what made it go so viral? It was a $5,000 wager.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At that time, I was only making like $2,000 a month from Twitch. Right. You know what I mean? But I just had to do it. You had to do it. That's life changing right there.
Starting point is 00:03:07 So we won, obviously. Bronny went crazy that wager. This was like in June. So this wasn't even a year ago yet. That's crazy. Right? Yes. So this shit was obviously life changing for me.
Starting point is 00:03:18 After that, it died out a little bit. I just kind of developed my own fan base. That brought me from like 1,000,000 viewers to after that wager, like $2,500 3,000. viewers okay so like double my shit you know what i mean right and i mean getting bringing that live viewer account up on twitch is like i know people who grind for years to just you know get a 50% increase or a 20% increase it's it's a slow grind especially like gaming the way it is now it's very hard like we don't have a game like fortnight to where you could just kind of you know what i mean like kind of like it's like a
Starting point is 00:03:47 fresh new game we don't have that right now so it's hard um so what i ended up doing which i'm going to explain later is you know get into the irl scene but um so after the 2K wager, you know, I developed my own, like I said, fan base, people just fuck with me for the sus jokes, the raging, all that shit, which we'll get into, we'll talk about. Oh, yeah, definitely got to get sus, yeah. Yep. So then I kind of averaged like 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, when the PS5 came out, the PS5 and the Xbox, the new Xbox, worst consoles ever.
Starting point is 00:04:16 There's no good games out at all. So I was like, fuck this shit. What am I going to do now? So then comes in, like, then comes to where I started doing this, this shit where I would have girls on my stream and I would do like these e-date shows. And I would start collaborating with people. This is where I met Rice and this is where I met you know
Starting point is 00:04:33 like phase members and just like clicks like Rinaldo like Fortnite guys like just everybody like different communities started fucking with me. Were these ever like real dates when I see you doing this with girls or was it more like an excuse to just talk to them on camera? It was kind of like that. It was all over Discord. You know it was kind of like if you
Starting point is 00:04:49 know Discord it's like it's kind of like Skype right? And you weren't in a relationship at this point so you were free? I was but I was hosting the date I wasn't actually on the dates. Yeah, yeah. So I wasn't in a relationship at this time, at that time. And, you know, I was just hosting the dates, but my ex used to, you know, still feel some type of way
Starting point is 00:05:05 about the girls and stuff on the stream. And it's all good or whatever. But, yeah, so that brought me to like 15 to $20,000. Like, it was crazy. I don't know where people love that shit. Like, I'm telling you right now, anyone that wants to come up on this Twitch, YouTube shit, girls, get girls in your shit.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I'm telling you, it's a secret. Academics, rice gum. There's a lot of people who have used this to very good effect over the years. It's amazing, bro. It just works. People love seeing interaction with girls. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:05:30 So then, yeah, the e-dates. I stopped doing the e-dates and I got into Grandadft Auto. I started playing with the rapper T. Grizzly. GTA is where the streets are at on Twitch. As right now, yeah, they are. It's fucking Compton over there. Yep. It's crazy, bro.
Starting point is 00:05:42 It's a whole different thing. It's just where all the rappers just go and they hang out. And I see YouTube titles now that are like, T. Grizzly and YVN Namir do this. And I'm thinking like, that did not happen. But I know it's a GTA title. So I'm just going to scroll past there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:55 that shit is crazy because now it's it's it's really like real life yeah so um so yeah like i like said so after the e-dates kind of dried out um i uh i just got into the gta played with tea that shit got me to like 20 20 to 5 000 whatever um started playing that made my own world and then um and then i go ahead and i go to la and i do this hot tub stream with korena cough i don't you know who she is i do so i did that hot tub stream with her and how did you get in touch with her she's pretty popular she uh we did uh this she was in the gta world that i mean she was in the gta she was in compton okay yeah so we uh we did uh an iro collaboration we did a few streams it was fire was awesome so that shit brought me to like 25 to 30 000 uh there was a lot
Starting point is 00:06:41 of hype around the hot tub stream obviously i had the best stream ever at that time i passed it now but i'll explain how um so you know that's that that got me obviously some some crazy trendy fucking shit. I went trending on Twitter, got a lot of followers overnight, all that kind of shit. Went back to Miami. That's where I'm originally from. Went back to Miami. Just in my GTA shit. Basically, I averaged like 30,000 for two months
Starting point is 00:07:06 straight or whatever. Came back to L.A. Move out to L.A. stopped playing it and not, not, I just stopped playing it as much and I just wanted to get to the IRL scene. So what I would do was I would just do like collaborations with other people. Like, for example, like you see now. Like now we're kind of up to date caught up. So what I've been doing now.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I don't know if you've been kind of stinging. I've been watching some stuff. I actually watched the EDP 445 reaction that you and Shaq West did. I didn't watch the original video. I watched you guys react to it. And I was like, this is great because then I don't have to just watch the video and then rewatch the video. I can just watch it with you guys commenting.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Right. That shit is disgusting, by the way. What the fuck is wrong with that guy? Yeah. That shit is nasty, bro. It's crazy because I've been following him for five, six years. Like, I've just known about him forever. And I had heard a little.
Starting point is 00:07:51 little bit of rumors, but like the way they caught him just showing up to the parking lot, I couldn't fucking believe it. Nah, that shit's, and you know what's crazy? Like, there's definitely people that we don't even know, like that are sick like that. You know what I mean? Like, there's definitely people, like, celebrities, YouTubers, streamers that, like, are like that. And we just don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:07 He was just the thirstiest one because all they had to do was swim in his DMs. They message him. He responds. Then he double text. Right. Oh, the double text makes you look so fucking guilty, bro. But, bro, he was nasty. He would send pictures of, like, his shit.
Starting point is 00:08:21 in like weird stuff bro he was a very he's very weird i wonder what's going to happen to him though i really don't know yeah apparently those dudes sometimes get people thrown in jail but i don't know like how much they're in charge because of it's not real maybe like they used on uh to catch a predator and shit those guys will go to jail sometimes i think yeah yeah so we got to see what's gonna happen yeah definitely but so is that kind of where you're at now that you prefer to sort of like when you say irl you mean just sort of interacting hanging out watching stuff on the internet talking about it more so than like the ice beside an IRL where you like stroll down
Starting point is 00:08:55 the street for eight hours. So I want to get into that too. But as a right now bro like I've just been having people come to my house and I've just been having you know motherfuckers like just like I'll react this shit and it's crazy because now everybody on Twitch bro is reacting to my shit because I've just been going crazy with content lately
Starting point is 00:09:12 beef with rappers beef with fucking streamers now. It's crazy bro like every week is just something new about Aiden Ross and it's just like, wow, like, it's just, I can't catch a break. I swear to God. It's crazy because I probably would have found out about you through some of these recent beefs and stuff, but I actually found out of you just because I was playing poker on Twitch and randomly some kid was like, you got to interview Aden Ross.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And that caused me to go down the little wormhole and be like, all right, like he follows me. Fuck, I'm going to hit him up. Crazy. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. Nah, but, but yeah, bro, like I said, like that shit, the IRS scene is where to go because Twitch right now, it's obviously like known as a gaming platform, but it's expanding into something crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And that's why I feel like I've created something to where it's like nobody's ever seen before where I'm implementing YouTube content into Twitch content, IRL scene, you know what I mean? So you gotta come on my stream. I'm not gonna let you should come on there. Let's go. Yeah. You know what I was thinking it would be super funny is if we premiered this video and you
Starting point is 00:10:08 reacted to your own interview live. Yeah. That'll be fucking tight. Oh, definitely. I'll definitely do that. 100%. That would be tight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:14 But when you say like a YouTube style, you mean more of like a vlog type feel to it? Yeah. Yeah. Like more just. but it's more raw, no edits, obviously, you know, but it's like, it's just sick, bro. Like, it's just, it's so, it's like real because I'm having, you know, people that, obviously rappers are like who, I love the rap game. You know, I've been, I've been heavily, like I said, I've been messing with you for a while now.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Like, I just like talking to rappers. I like interacting with rappers. So it's like, it's really cool to actually have them come on my shit, you know? Right. And isn't it a crazy feeling? Like, I assume you kind of feel the same way that I felt coming in the game, which is like, I was just such a rap fan, but I had never met a rap. I'd never like I would just view their lifestyle as such an outsider and then to actually like be meeting top rappers.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Right. Just treat you regular. Yeah. Like, oh, like we're the same. That's fucking crazy because I've been like worshipping people like you my whole life. It's kind of crazy. It's crazy. And it's crazy because I'm actually good friends with a couple of them now.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Like for example, like I'm closest with Shaq West. You and Shaq West have a great rapport. You seem so comfortable around each other. That was actually really good. We've hung out a lot of times. I'm not, I'm not signed to Cactus, but I'm very associated with Cactus Jack. you know um so i uh you know like i i work with like a lot of the guys down there you know so it's great so that's a lot of people like kind of want to cling to that to like explain who you are
Starting point is 00:11:30 is they're like he signed a kegs jack he's travis scott's friend no i mean i've met trav a couple times i've seen him a couple times whatever um not not so much trav really oriented i'm i'm trying to well i don't want to say too much but all i could really say is if they were to do something with gaming if they were to you know sign a client with gaming i would i would definitely sign with them how nice are you at gaming but that's the thing i'm not a gamer i don't like i don't like being called a gamer it's like you have to use the category gaming because i'm a twitch streamer right yeah but so i'm not really good at the game more of an entertainer that's what's more important now i feel like you're in the gaming community because your fans are very much of the gaming community but
Starting point is 00:12:10 the content that you're doing because i mean let's face it the gaming community like how many fucking times that they need to see somebody win at Fortnite. Exactly. You know, and that's why all the stuff about, like, being technically good at a game, like always ends up getting replaced by personality. It always will, you know, because you got people that, like, look when the Fortnite was hot. People used to average 100,000, 200,000 viewers.
Starting point is 00:12:31 People with not so much of a personality, but they were very good at the game. So look, look what's happening to them now. They're declining because the game itself is getting boring and dried out and they don't have a personality. So why would they watch them? You know what I mean? People like the idea of in somebody who's living a very good life sort of adjacent to gaming.
Starting point is 00:12:49 And you think about phase. It's like all the biggest names in phase. I'm sure there's a bunch of dudes who are crazy good at gaming, but all the biggest names that people talk about are the famous YouTuber guys. Of course. Of course.
Starting point is 00:12:59 That's always how it is, the people with the personalities and, you know, the people that, you know, have an actual, they entertain. Like them, for them, not the game or whatever. Definitely. Do you consider, like, what were your dreams going into all this?
Starting point is 00:13:13 Like, did you just want to blow the fuck up on Twitch? Were you looking at it? Like, I want to get in the rap game. Like, were you just broke and you were just trying to make anything happen? Like, what was the motivation? So I knew, well, first of all, I do, like you, like, I knew I was going to be in some way, like, invested in music. And honestly, like, I'm not very talented when it comes to rapping, but I want to make music. I heard you rap in front of Polo G, I can confirm that.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Bro. I actually was cringing. It's bad. It's bad. It's bad. Especially, like, you should have, bro. If you were in that room, the awkwardness, like, you know even you could feel shit? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:47 You could just feel the awkwardness right there. And you couldn't see Pauline's face, though, right? Nah, but like, I knew it. I just knew he was just like, what the fuck. Amazing. Yeah, but, but not. Your motivation. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 So it's just crazy. Like, I knew I was going to get invested in rap. But coming into this shit, no, bro, I just like, I was like, I'm not, like, at that time, I just loved the gaming. I loved playing 2K. But, like, I mean, it's, only been like a year and a half, you know, I'm 20. I was, I started this shit out when I was, I could think 19, right? So it's like 18 and a half, whatever was. So it's like, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:14:22 I like lost my passion for gaming and I'm more just passionate about content. I can't. It's just like I'm expanding, like I'm expanding and evolving into something. Like, you know, I constantly want to, I eventually want to do movies. Like I want to, like, I want to keep expanding. You know what I mean? So. Because when you think about it, like games, we all love playing games, but if you spend eight hours in your house playing games every day it's like that's a very different lifestyle yeah being out in public being around meeting new people going out like to parties and events and being around people like were you always a super social person always high school and stuff yeah always i moved a lot you know um i was born in florida moved to new work moved to cali moved back to new
Starting point is 00:15:00 work move back to cali what were your parents doing there just had job stuff uh job stuff um divorced they remarried they remarried to other people and then they remarried again yeah bro my life is fucking crazy. Your parents need to make up their minds. But not. That's crazy. Wow. Very crazy. So, yeah, man, I've been, I moved a lot. I've always, always, you know, made friends pretty easily or whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Always been social. And I just never really had a hard time, just kind of getting along with people. Let me just dig a little bit deeper. When you say that your parents went through all that, we always hear about how divorce is really traumatic for kids. Was it like that for you? And what
Starting point is 00:15:39 about, like, them ending up getting back together? and everything like how is your relationship with your parents so I'm very close with my my pops and my mom but I mean I've been through a lot of traumatic shit in my life for example I mean I'll tell you I don't really like I don't like I don't like I don't like I don't even feel bad about it I'm just very open about my shit I'm very good at blocking shit out when I was like 12 years old I got stabbed by a knife so in my sleep by a by a yeah by a by a by a family relative who was like like mentally like unstable this I just gasped like three times in a row What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:16:11 Yeah, it's crazy. But that shit doesn't even get to me. Like, when that happened to me, I went through it for like a week. I don't know what it was. I became numb and kind of like emotionless and traumatic shit. It's crazy. I could just put it like behind me. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:24 It's weird. It's very weird. So this relative, did you know that there was a chance that they would do some crazy violent shit or was not? Nah, not. They were on just a bunch of drugs. And obviously they were mentally unstable. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:35 So, you know. They ended up going to jail for it? They went to jail, but then they got admitted to a mental place. Because that's where, you know, you belong. You know what I mean? They were out of their mind. Right. And yeah, that shit was crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:45 And it affected my family more than it affected me. Really? Because, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like my, you know, my siblings and my, you know, my parents were like, what the fuck? They were obviously like, what the fuck? They were tripping the fuck out. Obviously, I was, I was very young.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I was scared, you know. How bad and where? Did he stand? It's on my arm right here. You could probably see it. Okay, so it wasn't. You see it? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I had like nine stitches. But you were bleeding a lot. It's got to be scary. Especially when you're asleep. I hate when anyone messes with you when you're asleep, bro. But you know what's crazy? I couldn't feel it. Really?
Starting point is 00:17:12 Because the adrenaline and you just wake up. So I pulled that knife right out and I just, I was screaming, you know, went to the hospital, stopped bleeding when I was at the hospital. It was crazy. They just stitched me up and that was it. When I went to school, I just told motherfuckers, oh, I tripped and fell on a fucking nail. You didn't even want to talk about it. I guess that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:17:29 No, no, no. At that time, you know, I was just, it was weird. You're a kid. You want to be normal, you know? Yeah, of course. But I'm just saying, like, what I'm trying to say is, like, I've been through a lot of crazy traumatic shit, but I've always just been able to put that shit, like, kind of like, like, you know, picture, like, you're jumping over, like, a hurdle. This is a hurdle. I'll just jump over that motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Like, I'm just really not, I'm not really letting that shit get to me. Yeah. And, I mean, you need that if you're going to be popular on Twitch or on the internet in general, because you're just, everything good that happens to you is always going to be almost, like, paired with a negative reaction. Of course. And I get that so much. Yeah. But I think everybody does when they're first coming up. It's like, for example, like there's even streamers that just, I've never talked to you.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I've always showed love to like, yo, shout out to this person going crazy. But then they'll find ways to just shit on me. It's crazy. But it's like they just hate to see people win. And yeah, I might do it differently. For example, I might crack a sauce joke. It's a joke. It's a locker room talk.
Starting point is 00:18:19 You know what I mean? It's what it is. It's humor. It's different. But I'm winning at the end of the day. And it's like I'm doing it the most humble, just most respectful way possible without hurting anybody. But people are still trying to find a way to just kind of like, I don't know. Just throw shots.
Starting point is 00:18:35 And what's crazy though, too, is that okay, so when good things happen in your life, there's always bad things that come with it. But also, if bad things happen to you and you're famous, there's always this weird positive side to it as well because, like, for instance, when that guy put the gun in my face, my YouTube explodes.
Starting point is 00:18:51 We got a fuckload of subscribers. I'm on all kinds of different shows and podcasts talking about it and shit. I didn't ask for any of that, but it's also like I'm not going to turn it down if it's there. Probably, can I ask you something? Your reaction to that? smiled, I think, right?
Starting point is 00:19:04 I was kind of like in a mixed mental state where I was sort of almost thinking it was a prank. So I think that's what really, like, I didn't want to fully like go into like horror. Yeah, because you're like, what the fuck? I didn't want to go into like horror freak out mode in case it was a prank. And I actually, my friend Little House saw, and I really kind of thought that it might be him. Just because that's the kind of thing that he really would do and would think was funny. Yeah. He's a sick fuck.
Starting point is 00:19:25 But yeah, I don't know. That was a weird one. And I feel exactly what you're saying that because it's like, I remember sitting down at dinner with my mom like a week after that and her just like really asking me like do you do you feel okay like mentally and and kind of just actually thinking like I feel okay but I'm not really sure what that just did to me like coming that close yeah to dying or whatever you know yeah no that's really crazy and you know like you were close to dying I had a near-death experience that that knife would have stabbed me somewhere else like this a weird spot my arm too very would have missed and hit me like
Starting point is 00:19:56 right here and for example that guy would have pulled that trigger you just never know that shit is crazy. It was actually a fake gun. Oh, it was? Yeah, which I did not know at the time, but when we're examining it afterwards, it's like, yo, what kind of gun is that? That gun looks all fucked up and weird. You got duct tape on the handle, yeah. That's crazy. Yeah, that was rough. But
Starting point is 00:20:14 yeah, okay, so let me ask you this. One thing that I sometimes struggle with as an old man is the energy that it takes to hold down a five or six hour stream or whatever. You seem like you're a big ball of energy
Starting point is 00:20:30 Like you, if you were hanging out, you could just be talking all day and stuff. Like, is it easy for you to sort of entertain that big of an audience for that long? Absolutely not. It's definitely a lot of pressure. It's a lot of stress. You've got to think now. I'm not entertaining hundreds of people. I'm entertaining thousands now.
Starting point is 00:20:44 So it's like I got to, and you got to think, like, a lot of these kids, like, and I'll give you and I'll show you what I mean. A lot of these kids really rely on me to stream every night because I'm their form of a fix. You know what I mean? And get out of like their shit that they got going on. You know what I'm a fix. I'm their friend. I'm their fix. I'm what they want to tune into whenever, you know, if they get into a fight with their girlfriend or their parents are fighting or some crazy shit's happening in their life.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I'm their way of getting out of that shit. Like a kid in high school is looking at you. You are a little older than him. You got some money. You got famous people in your life. You got things seem to be going great. It's like they look at their friends and they're like, well, he's kind of a dick. He don't got nothing going for him, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:21:23 It's like you're kind of like their dream friend in a way is I think the category that they kind of put you into. And I connect with these kids a lot, and it's just really cool that, like, a lot of them look up to me because it's like I always, I'll always, it's like every stream. I don't know if you watch like the ends of my shit. I'll always preach like, yo, follow your shit. Don't ever listen to your parents that they're doubting you. Like, really go get this shit. Because let's, like, people will doubt you in the beginning. And then they switch up.
Starting point is 00:21:45 You know how it is. So it's like I'm always very clear about, we watch TED Talks. We just do a bunch of motivational shit on my shit too. But not, what are you asking? Oh, about the energy. Yeah, so it's very hard to conserve your energy. when you're entertaining a lot of people, you're pressured always.
Starting point is 00:22:01 For example, if I miss a night of streaming and I don't tweet about it, people are like, L streamer, you changed, you hate us, you don't fuck with us, like, what the fuck, Aiden, you're changing, L.A. changed you, all this crazy shit. And it's like, bro, I can't take a night off to relax. I remember when Ninja was like at his height on Twitch
Starting point is 00:22:18 that he went on his honeymoon, I think, for a week after he got married and it was like his subscribers like plummeted and he basically said in an article or some shit that it cost them like a half a million dollars to go on that honeymoon because the subs just start falling off like crazy when you do that and when I see sometimes like that's why I used to always kind of like really want to stream like and then at a certain point I was like bro if you're doing seven or eight interviews a week you just are not going to have enough energy to be like if all I had to do was stream for four hours every night to the weekdays or something I think I could maybe do that but like I just blast through so much of my like internal fire doing interviews that I just did. I gotta leave it to the next generation. You talk all day. So it's like,
Starting point is 00:23:01 but the thing is with Twitch, and you know this, because you stream, you gotta be consistent. You have to. Because like I said, like you just said with Ninja, like you literally have to be consistent
Starting point is 00:23:10 because you're gonna just decline. If you miss a day, that's fine. If you miss two days, you miss three, it's like, yo, you got to get on your shit. Like, that's just how Twitch is.
Starting point is 00:23:19 But does it ever fuck you up? Because you stream mostly at night. You start around five, right? For out 435, yeah. So then you have, you know, that kind of fucks up your social. life, right? Because it's like if you want to go to a party with all your friends, it's like
Starting point is 00:23:31 maybe they're leaving for the party at nine or something shit. It's kind of still in the middle of your streaming block. Or are you able to make it work with both? Well, yeah, I've been doing like less hours. I don't do six to eight anymore. I do like more of like four to five, which is really nice. But I am streaming every day still. So like I'll miss like, I'll probably stream like six days a week. I'll take a day off in the week. But yeah, I mean, it's cool. Like if I go live at 530, I can end at 930, 1030. And then I can go out. or hang out with, you know, I have a girlfriend, so hang out with my girlfriend. And, you know, I mean, that's good.
Starting point is 00:24:02 How did the girlfriend, Pammy, baby? How did she come into the picture? Yeah, yeah, so I'll explain it all. So before I came up, I was with this girl, Stacey, and that's the girl. I was talking about with the E-Dates. And she, great girl, still have love for this girl. But we just didn't really work out because it was just kind of more of a thing, like were my lifestyle, me coming, like me going up, it kind of got in the way of my relationship.
Starting point is 00:24:24 And that's going to do that sometimes, especially somebody who sees you come up right between their eyes. They're like, I hope he doesn't change. I hope he doesn't. And I got that a lot. So she would almost every night, we would get into like an argument and it just, I had to like make sure like I stopped hurting her, cut that, went to LA, whatever. And I, and I just, Pammy was my roommate. She knows she does TikTok. She does social media too. And we were just roommates. We got really close. And now we're together. It's crazy. So that's dope. Yeah. Do you feel like you need to date somebody who's kind of well known because then you have that in common. And let's be real, like being famous for the first time is crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:05 And really like to have a partner in that, I feel like it's kind of important. And like, like dating a normal girl when you are dealing with all these famous guy problems, probably got pretty complicated. Of course, because that's what I'm saying. Like they start to get insecure because they're like, yo, like this shit's happening to him. Like I hope he doesn't forget about me. Like that's the vibe I was getting from her. So it was like and it wasn't true at all
Starting point is 00:25:29 Like I would always you know Try to make sure that I was there or whatever And that's just what happens though But I was I was doing I was focusing so hard on that I couldn't really focus on my ex And like I said still got love for whatever But it's just it's just right now
Starting point is 00:25:43 I'm Pam with Pammy it's different She keeps me grounded She does it too She doesn't get insecure about anything Because she realizes that everything I do Is content entertainment rise right So it's just it's a lot different When Pammy
Starting point is 00:25:54 It's just I'm grounded I'm very grounded right now Do you feel like you understand or know the importance of that? Because I can say that when you're going through that process of you going from having, you know, not many viewers to a buckload of viewers, like in a very short period of time, it's very, very easy to let it go to your head. It's very easy to sort of start to drink your own Kool-Aid and, like, you know, you can be rude and shitty people and stuff like that. You seem like pretty determined to keep a cool head on your shoulders. Like, is this something that you're thinking about?
Starting point is 00:26:25 Dude, Adam, that's the one thing that gets to me when people, People say, yo, Aiden, you changed. I hate it. I don't know why it just gets to be so much. It's like, I get it, like the numbers have changed, my growth has changed, my continent has changed. But one thing about me that I can say is I've never changed as a person, my morals.
Starting point is 00:26:39 So it's like I try to keep myself as grounded as hard as much as possible because like, it's just like that she gets to me. That is the one thing that just gets to me. Aidan, you changed. I hate it. Right. Because I know it's not true. Like as a person, I'm still the same Aidan as I was before all this shit.
Starting point is 00:26:57 It's just everything's my life has changed. And if you change up a lot, I feel like that's like one of the main things that's going to make your fan base like stop relating to you. Like I'm super cool with Ninja and I love Ninja, but I feel like at a certain point as he got more famous and shit, it kind of became a little bit more difficult
Starting point is 00:27:16 for him to just act like a regular guy when all of his problems are such different problems. It's like you're on fucking Ellen tomorrow and you're just like one of the most famous people in the world. And that was like, like the storyline, the narrative that like I would see people trying to push is like, oh, he's different now. He's an asshole or whatever.
Starting point is 00:27:34 And I never even really like saw it myself. I don't like watch his Twitch streams enough to like see it. But I mean, I feel like that's like the number one thing that you got to try to avoid is just letting it go to your head at all. Well, 100% and I'm still having trouble kind of like how to figure that out. I mean, I'm still really new to this, you know. But another thing that like I was going to say is like people really don't even understand that. People like you, like me, like we have.
Starting point is 00:27:57 We're human beings. At the end of the day, we're all the same person. We all eat, we, we shit, you know, we, we fucking, we, we're human beings. You know, we breathe, we breathe air. We're all the same. So it's like, people really, like, kind of like, look at me as like, I'm this entertainment puppet. I can't explain it. People look at me as like, yo, like this kid is, like, people really like that watch my streams.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Not everybody, but some people just really like, yo, like, yo, like, yo, Aiden, and go live. Like, go live already, bro. Like, it's like, I'm a human being as, like, everybody else. You know, if I'm eating, I mean, I'm eating food or whatever. Like, I'm doing, I'm doing my shit. I'm just a human being. And, like, people will just look at me as like, I'm like this puppet, this entertainment puppet.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Right. Or they'll, like, see you and you're, you know, in a hoodie and you're just like going to buy some toothpaste at the store. And it's supposed to be like, hey, guys, welcome to Twitch. Yeah. It's like, no, bro. Like, I'm going to say hi to you and take a photo, but I'm, I'm chilling. Like, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:28:49 It's your, yeah. I'm not the same person that you just saw doing an interview. And that's another thing. Me and my girlfriend were just talking about that, actually, last night. People know me when they see me, but they don't know me. Right. Oh, yeah. They don't know me.
Starting point is 00:29:01 They don't know me. So it's like, that's why, you know, it's, I'm not, I don't get weirded out sometimes, but it's crazy because like the face they make like some, like I, like, like, last night I was at Chick-fil-A, I was in the drive-thru, and like this dude was just like completely starstruck. And it's like, he knows me, but he doesn't know me personally. Like, it's just, I'm still really new to this. So it's like, and I'm so, like, I'm so, like, appreciative and thankfully even be, like, recognize.
Starting point is 00:29:24 That shit is crazy. And it's cool. It's so cool. The weird thing about it though is that as you get more and more popular, the things that people say to you become sort of like more and more basic. Because if you have 10 million followers, like if you have 100,000 followers, there's a pretty good chance that all those followers really actually know a lot about you. That's true. When you get to 10 million, that means that you've got fucking 11 year olds following you who barely speak English. You've got like every type of person.
Starting point is 00:29:53 And maybe all they know is I saw a two minute clip in. time and I thought he was funny. Right. And that's kind of what it is to become famous is to have a ton of people who are sort of invested in you. Right, right, right. And then, and then they'll, I've heard it a lot, like, I'm your biggest fan. And I don't like to call, like, my community fans at all. It's weird. Like, I don't know, like how you feel about that, but like, I just like, I don't really like calling people fans. It's like, like, like I said, like, they're more of like my family. Right. Because they are fans, but I feel like that doesn't always encompass the relationship that a YouTube creator or a Twitch streamer actually has with the fans where it's like this thing that
Starting point is 00:30:28 I'm doing doesn't really exist without you. Like I can't do this if a certain number of people doesn't watch this. Like that's kind of the whole basis of it. So I want to give you what you want while also being myself. And yeah, I feel like fans in a way as kind of like passive consumers who just sort of like take it in. And it's like no, I'm trying to be as connected to you as possible. That's what I'm saying. That's why like whenever I'm streaming like people, I just don't is the word fan. It's just like, I want people just feel like, yo, we're like really like a part of this. We're all connected. Right. Yeah. It's like you're my friends. It's just this technology has allowed me to,
Starting point is 00:31:02 instead of having like 20 friends in my life, I've got millions. And I can't have the closest relationship to you all, but I'm doing what I can. Yeah. Yeah. We're all one big family. I feel like a lot of people look at you too and they're like, you kind of, and maybe me too, to a sorry said, but you complete the dream of like, oh, you can be a white guy who's like not pretending to be like in the streets or on some crazy shit and have rappers fuck with you in respect yeah because that's that to a lot of kids i think feels kind of like how could i ever it's sick one of these rappers fuck with me you know it's so sick like it all started with uh t grizzly for sure right that's my god bro i love tea like he's just like a really good dude
Starting point is 00:31:39 um but then bro all these you know tea and uh like i'm good friends with like really good friends with check and and you know like i've been i have a lot of other rappers coming on too so it's could be so sick, but it's just like, it's so cool to be a part of this rap community. It's so sick. Definitely. If you ever want somebody's connect or whatever, probably a lot of guys I know who would be happy to do it too.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Yeah, for sure. I mean, like, you gotta think, like, I eat off it, but they do too. For example, like, if a rap, you gotta think, like, let's say a rapper, I'm not saying they fell off, but like if a rapper that's not, you know, on like they used to be, right? They're still relevant, but they're not on, on,
Starting point is 00:32:15 and they come onto my shit, which is hot right now. And it's right before they drop a single art project. It's like, bro, it's perfect promotion. Do it. Taking two hours out of your day, do it. And the best thing that you have is that your fans who really watch your Twitch should feel like they know you.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And that's one of the hardest things to get to as a musician because there's so many people who blow up with a song or even they blow up themselves. But it's like the audience doesn't really feel like they know you or what you're going through. So in a lot of ways, I think Twitch is like an amazing invention for rappers and they should probably use it more and have that real connection, you know?
Starting point is 00:32:47 Yeah, I'm trying to put a lot of rappers on. Everyone that I kind of like have been talking and meeting and stuff, they all want to get into like Gita. They want to start streaming. I'm like, bro, bro, do it, do it, do it. And I think, like I said, the most successful rapper ever to do it on Twitch is T. Grizzly. He goes crazy. He gets viewers. Like, he's just entertaining.
Starting point is 00:33:02 He's really, really good at streaming. And I'm trying to push more rappers to really get into it. And that's funny because I remember at one point, T. Grisley had this, like, cooking show that they tried out. And they did like seven episodes of it. And I was one of the episodes, me and my girl went and we, like, ate food and talked to him and stuff. That's sick. But I felt like that felt like that felt.
Starting point is 00:33:19 a little bit like forced and maybe that's why they didn't keep doing it whereas i feel like him on twitch that's like probably what the fans want from him more is like they just want to see the real you of course that's what they want yeah you got you got you have people that fuck with you like you said like people just drop a song like you know what i mean like they're like i want to know like what he's really like so they come onto my shit they're watch i'm all over tictock now ticot youtube recommended they're gonna watch that shit they're gonna look at it they're gonna be like yo no way that this rapper's actually cool like you know what i mean so have you at this point have you looked at your business and been like, all right, I'm going to bring people in. I need an assistant.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I need a manager, et cetera. Like, have you taken those steps? Yeah, I definitely, I'm lost, bro. I'm not going to even lie to you're lost. It's totally okay and understandable. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm lost. I'm still trying to figure that shit out. But definitely, like, I, you know, I have these boys, I have three boys that are living in me right now. Two of them I met in third grade and another one I met in my freshman year in high school. and I'm trying to give him all jobs, you know, because I paid my boy $7,000 to quit his job at McDonald's and come work for me.
Starting point is 00:34:23 I'm going to find out of, you know, just a job to give him. Yeah. I'm like $2,000 a month to be my cameraman or whatever it is, you know. So I'm just trying to, you know, I'll maybe make one of them my assistant. He'll do shit for me, drive, do errands for me, shit like that. Are these the same homies you tricked you into singing the song? No, no, no, no. Who are those dudes?
Starting point is 00:34:42 Those dudes are hilarious. So that's my SSB boys. I love them, bro. Okay. We have a it's kind of like we're gonna make the next phase Glenn. It's gonna be called SSB It actually stands for my ex's name Stacy Stacy Stapbrose, but we really don't refer to it as that obviously we just we just do s sb We're gonna we're dropping merch this month like we're gonna try to make this shit like a real org We're gonna make the shit like the real deal and sign other talents
Starting point is 00:35:07 So you never thought about like joining phase or whatever because I know you were down with banks from early on You always knew you wanted to start your own thing so so as you can see I'm wearing a phase This is a good point too. I did not notice that. Banks Banks changed my life. You know, he moved me into the house. So I'm living with Banks, Rice Gums, Summeray, Pammy, and Mike is about to move in and we're about to get more people in. I want B-Loo and Zez to move in. You know who they are, of course. So
Starting point is 00:35:31 we're looking at that. And then we're looking for more girls. So, you know, we're looking to get another girl or two in the house. But, but yeah, so Banks made a fucking big mistake. I wanted to get phase in November when I averaged like 5,000, 6,000 viewers and I literally there was like this phase five thing and I made a clip and it was the best one and and every phase member liked it and I just remember I was like should I really do this and the next day I think I got like 10,000
Starting point is 00:36:02 likes on Twitter it went crazy on TikTok I deleted it I was like fuck that shit I can't be in face I just know I can't I got to do my own shit I knew it and they all wanted me they wanted me in face for sure and banks is uh bank banks is uh i talked about it's like bro you should assign me you should he's like yeah yeah whatever so yeah i mean he's got a shit load going on but i wonder if he'll end up kicking himself over time also it's like you doing your own thing yeah i mean i'm in the same house and we're eating together you know so he's going to get back into youtube actually i'm really excited for him he's always saying he's going to get back he is though he's serious this time he'll come out he'll drop like two vlogs disappear for nine months that's how rickie is yeah but i'm i'm going to make
Starting point is 00:36:41 sure that he stays consistent. But it's so easy to be a YouTuber when you need the money. Yeah. I think that's a problem for him. He just doesn't need the money. So it's hard. It's hard for him to force himself to like do something. He doesn't get a fuck. Yeah. But I think he wants to do it just to show motherfuckers like, exactly. I'm banks. I'm back on my shit. I still here. Yeah. I can still come back after a year and get three millions or whatever. Yeah. And he will. He's crazy. And again, he changed my life. Like he moved me into that house. And it grew me to this next level of Aden I've never seen. And it's just, I love banks.
Starting point is 00:37:13 You literally changed my life. The motherfucker's crazy. Definitely. Oh, wow. I was on the Trapland Pat questions for a second, and I was about to ask you about killings in Florida, which I probably don't want to ask you about. I can talk about that for a second.
Starting point is 00:37:26 You know about that, right? So basically, there's a song. It's a very famous diss song at this point by Young E and A. A.C. and a bunch of his boys. And they're basically talking about smoking on their enemies, dead homies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:38 And your friends trolled you into, repeating the lyrics on camera because I was wondering when I saw that tweet from you about like I am not on any of this gangster shit or whatever I saw the tweet and I'm just like what the fuck did he get himself into okay did you look into it right after that tweet or you were just like what the fuck I waited a little while
Starting point is 00:37:55 and then when I was watching the video about it I'm like ah now I understand the tweet yeah yeah so I sung that song without knowing what it meant and you know I'm again I'm not affiliated or supposed to do anything you know but I obviously said some shit I sung the song and I didn't know the connotation behind it
Starting point is 00:38:11 You know, it's all cleared up now, but I went on live with, you know. Fulio. Yep. Shout to him, by the way. He's doing his thing. And Ace and everybody else. But yeah, so I went on live, we cleared it up. We're all good.
Starting point is 00:38:26 And then. You did it again. I did it again. It's a very catchy song, and that's the problem. It's so catchy. I sing the Who I Smoke part. We don't say the other part. Obviously, like, nobody should be trying to involve themselves and all that.
Starting point is 00:38:39 But you do see a shitload of fans who are just having. having a good old time with it. And it's created this crazy cycle, though, because now Fulio, I just saw that he was at some of the dead people's graves. And he's filming a music video there. And it's just like, oh, my. Like, I wish there was some O.Gs in Florida that could step in and be like, this got to stop.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Because that's kind of how it is in L.A. You don't see a lot of, I'm going to kill you ass diss songs from people, you know? But that shit is all insane. Like, that shit is crazy, bro. But yeah, I just had to stay out of that shit. When I saw you get in the video, when I saw you get all concerned about it, and you put the tweet up and step, I was thinking,
Starting point is 00:39:14 there's no way that Fulio is going to give a fuck about this because, you know, it's just like, you're a Twitch streamer, he's a rapper, he's really in this shit, he knows it's a song,
Starting point is 00:39:22 but then, like, to see that he immediately, like, pretty much said something about it because he got hit up by so many people. It's like, bro, he's like, what the fuck else do I, do I expect?
Starting point is 00:39:31 And I don't blame him, but it's like, thank God that shit is cleared. Like, thank God, it didn't get deeper. Then I'm just, that shit was crazy. It was crazy for me
Starting point is 00:39:40 because I interview people who make songs. about smoking each other's homies and then I interview the other side and best case scenario they don't give a fuck but then sometimes it does get weird because I'll have rappers that I really consider myself friends with yeah and then their ops will be out here and it's kind of like yeah there's there's certain there's a level of friendship where I just can't fuck with the dude who's rapping about how he wants to kill you yeah it's fuck there's just certain shit you got to stay out of yeah 100% so um how did your uh yadi friendship
Starting point is 00:40:06 coming about so how did I talk to boat okay so boat is actually recently just started streaming on Switch. I slid in his Twitch stream. I said something like, hi-handsome to him. His entire chat was spamming at Aiden Ross. They're like, Bo, look, look who's here? He's like, who's that? He's like, hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:40:22 He looked me up. His boy was in the Discord. He's like, yo, he actually runs one of the craziest GTA servers. He said, oh, bad, I gotta get in. Talk to Boat on IG, FaceTime, whatever. Shout to Yadi. Bro, Yadi's actually really cool. He's a really cool.
Starting point is 00:40:35 He's a really cool dude. Very. And, yeah, bro, he was just like, we've just been kicking it off. talking. We've gone on each other's IG lives, all that crazy shit, whatever. And like, he just pulled up to the house. He was like, yeah, nah, I don't want my security coming inside. He's like, you're cool people, whatever. It's like, all right, cool. Did a stream. We raced. And it was just cool. It was a nice little collaboration. And it's dope because I think he's dropping tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Right. That makes sense. See? I think tonight at nine. Tonight and nine. Not that they'll be seeing this at that time, but go support his project. Yep. Yep. And then he did like this cool little, this little song, I forgot what he was like, do you know what I'm talking about? He did a song. He dropped the song like two days ago. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so he did that. This is really cool.
Starting point is 00:41:17 I think it's really smart. I don't think I thought about it, but like, like, just being all my shit, like, that's high, or like, even rappers in general, like, it's just good marketing for themselves, like, just doing my shit and then they drop some shit. It's like, I don't know, it probably helps out a lot. So, yeah. Because you got to think they're all over TikTok and they're just, you know, it's cool. Do you ever get nervous around rappers?
Starting point is 00:41:39 has there ever been a scenario where you were kind of like on edge about it? Like that went before you did the gay freestyle. Oh, nah, no, it was cool. Good vibes. And then I talked to him for a little bit. We were talking about normal shit. And then Z and B. Lou made me do that shit. It's funny because like my friends that I get to know really well, like I have a co-host name AD that I do the podcast with, he through being my actual friend and having been around me a ton, he has really gotten to see how sucks.
Starting point is 00:42:09 the jokes that I tend to make are. Yeah. And it's very weird for him as someone from Compton. And like he's kind of like this weird getting used to it thing that he just doesn't know when I'm going to just say something about how he should sleep in my bed or some shit like that. And he'll be like, what? Yeah, they trip the fuck out.
Starting point is 00:42:26 They're not used to that. Some people are just not used to that shit. Oh yeah. And it's a very like racially drawn line thing where it's like white people just, they're white men, I guess really, like just will joke around about that kind of shit. And most black dudes just do not. not think it's funny. Yeah, I mean, like the SSB group that I
Starting point is 00:42:43 associate with, most of them are black, so it's like, it's, they're used to it, like, they crack jokes with me. It's cool, it's funny. But what I was saying to one of my friends the other day, I was like, the difference between me and Aden is that I
Starting point is 00:42:59 make those kind of jokes to my friends that I've been around a million times. You meet a rapper for the first time and I just straight to it like, hey, just say something suss as fuck and like half the time they're Like what the fuck? Yeah, yeah. Even Einner Banks' face.
Starting point is 00:43:12 It was so funny, bro. So funny. But now, as a right now, I'm kind of letting that shit die out because it's like, I wrote Polo is so fun. I'm like an IG post. And he got pissed. He got mad. So I'm letting that shit die out.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I talked to his brother on Instagram live. He's a guy, just chill, let it die out. He's not busy. Polo's not taking a heart. He has the number one song in the world. He's going crazy right now. Right. So it's like, he doesn't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:43:33 I'm just letting that shit die out. Yeah. And hopefully, you know, next time if I see him, I'll be like, yo, what's good, you know? Yeah. Like, if you sprinkle it in there a little bit instead of like being, because like, dude, you fucking squatting down on Zias when he was bench pressing? You saw that? That was too far.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I admit that was too far. That was so awkward. It went, it was out of pocket. I admit it. And that will never happen again. I liked it because I liked seeing Zias get put in that position because he clearly had no fucking clue how to react. He was just baffled.
Starting point is 00:44:01 He couldn't believe it. And he actually reacted a, a cool way. some people would have been fucking heatedly pissed and punched me, you know, maybe he would have thrown the weight at me, but I'm glad that Ziaz and I are on a good enough friendship level to where he didn't, you know, fucking hurt me.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Definitely. Like, where do you see all this going? Like, you talked about starting the gaming organization. Is there anything in particular that stands out to you as like, I got to, I want to do this? Like, this is the thing that I need to invest my time into or is it too early?
Starting point is 00:44:31 As right now, man, it's too early. I'm just going to be doing a bunch of collaborations with the people. having a lot of people on, keep growing my Twitch, keep growing my socials. It's crazy, bro. Like, the Instagram growth has even been crazy for me, Lily. It's just all nuts, bro. So it's like, it's overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Just having all this shit happen so fast. But at the same time, it's really cool. And I'm really appreciative and grateful for it. And as a right now, I'm just kind of kind of try to just keep going with what I got. And I've always been really good at just adapting to, like, what's new and what's hot and what's trending. Always. Definitely. You know, one thing I really like about your online.
Starting point is 00:45:04 aesthetic is that like me when I go on stream or whatever it's like hey we're on stream now swipe up with the link yada yada you're just bang just take a picture of the icon that says live that's it i'm like that's smart because really like that shows a certain degree of respect for your viewers that it's like you don't need to swipe up you know what the fuck my twitch you are yeah you guys know what it is man yeah yeah i i just that's the other thing about me people like yo aid upgrade your setup get the craziest i was like no bro like just doing my shit raw like you don't need a 10 000 set up. You don't need a crazy setup. You just need a little camera,
Starting point is 00:45:37 mouse, keyboard. Do you only have one monitor? I have two. Okay. Yeah. Because I always see you with OBS on the screen, like with you in the corner, which most streamers would put on the window that you never see. I'm weird. I'm weird with that shit. I like it, though. It's kind of fun. Yeah, no, but I'm just very, like, I'm just very
Starting point is 00:45:54 scoff. I just like my shit, just like not too professional, not too artsy, just simple and easy and yeah. Definitely. Yeah. How concerned with the drip are you? What do you mean? Just looking fresh.
Starting point is 00:46:08 I don't really give up. Like, I'm going to get my drip up. Like, I just, as right now, I don't care. I already have a girlfriend. She doesn't really give a fuck. So it's like, who the fuck do I have to impress? I mean, I drive a lamb truck. Notice that?
Starting point is 00:46:20 And I don't know, bro. Like, it's weird. After I bought that car, I was like, why the fuck did I buy that? I was watching you drive up and just thinking, like, like, that shit's fire, but do I want to bring that level of attention to myself everywhere I go. That's the one thing I think about. And that's the thing. It's like, I realize it now. It's exactly the people will start like taking videos of you when you drive by and fucking, you know what I mean? Like I've had people come to my house and write shit on my car.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Yeah, man. So it's, it comes with shit. But it's also at the same time when you're in the car and you're driving fast. Like it's sick. Yeah. And there's a, there's an extent to which it's like I know that if people see me with a nice car that in their simplistic minds, it's going to be, he's got a nice car, he's happy, he's doing great for him. So it really is like that in a lot of people's minds. It doesn't work like that, though. Oh, no, no. But people will, and I've had these conversations on my stream, I'm like, yo, does you guys think money buys you happiness?
Starting point is 00:47:17 But it's like a lot of them say yes. And I think it helps with problems. And it helps, you know, take care of people, but more problems come with money. Exactly. It gives you a different level of problems on top of whatever. Like if you could just like make a shit of money and not have to like be well known or not have other people know. Sign up for that. And then that doesn't seem like it comes with any problems at all.
Starting point is 00:47:39 But when people like start treating you different and especially bro, when I start hearing from like real celebrities and they start getting sued all the time because like their neighbor like, you know, just making up shit because they know you got mad money. Like there's something came out today with little mosey. I saw that. That's the actual case. though so that's actually pretty interesting is it real i don't know if it's real at all because it's just a girl saying that she was so drunk that she like couldn't consent which is that's going to be tough to prove i guess right but that thing that's crazy is that it's a case it's a charge it's not like a girl going on twitter and saying it yeah like actual legal proceeding that's tough we got to see what
Starting point is 00:48:17 happens but but people are just going to always make allegations like i feel like that's just how it is like in general just people just always trying to make allegations and it comes with the name it just comes with that shit. I haven't gotten too deep into that. Like people haven't just really been trying to come from my name that deep yet or I don't know if it'll happen, but knock on wood, but it's just like that shit is it's pressure, it's stress. You know how it is.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Like, it's really stressful. Oh yeah, because it's like whatever good stuff you do at a certain point there's always going to be this like reaction where people want to like find a way to make it negative. They don't like seeing you do good for yourself. So it's like we got to find something to throw on top of it. Bro, Adam,
Starting point is 00:48:54 you could do a thousand good things. one bad thing you do and it's not even that bad people just try to find a way to like what a fucked up human being you are like you're a piece of shit like all this crazy shit you know how it is it's just like people just try to find a way to bring down something that's hot bring down somebody that's doing good it's just it's it's just sad that's how humans are yeah no 100% but i mean that's that's like why a big part of like making it being an influencers you just have to have the toughest fucking skin in the world i know people don't but people people people don't understand like yo aiden you have the best life ever. You're the luckiest guy in the world. I'm very lucky to be where I am. I'm very lucky to have
Starting point is 00:49:29 certain shit, but it comes with a lot of crazy shit too. And pressure to like just keep the machine going. Keep it going. Stuff happening. Yeah, that shit. It's crazy, bro. It's crazy. Well, yeah, man. I'm just hyped because it's like you are occupying like a very different lane than we've really seen in terms of like creators. And I don't know. It's just really interesting to see somebody who's, you know, really like organically bringing the gaming and the and the, the, the, the, rap communities together because there have been people who've done it but it's like you're doing it in a very cool way with the twitch stuff and everything and i think people are really fucking with it for a reason no yeah bro i mean i'm gonna keep doing what i got going on keep collaborating with
Starting point is 00:50:09 porn stars even like NBA players you know i know you can help it with a porn star so i know many so i'm just gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna try to do my best to just keep this shit up and keep my uh like i said keep my now i have a new youtube channel i just started like just keep expanding and expanding and expanding everything. So it's going to be dope. Definitely. Hey, man. Big respect on everything that you got going.
Starting point is 00:50:31 And shout out to your fucking fan base because they're like a fucking army. Army. And it's pretty amazing. Yeah, yeah. They're crazy, bro. I love them, brother. They're literally like my family. It's just crazy.
